Tho Boulanger.Ferry Duel.

PARIS, August 2.-Boulanger's seconds
publish a report Of what they say trans
pired at the conference between them and
the seconds of Ferry. The report is in SUBJ
stance az follows: General B6ulanger de.
sired a serious reparation proportioned to
the gravity OF Ferry's affront. On this
account he proposed that the combatanrs
exchange shots until one was hit, the
choice OF distance to be left to the seconds
OF Ferry. These conditions being accepted,
Boulanger's seconds agreed to be con-
tent with an exchange of shots between
the contestants at twenty PAGES without
any word OF command. Considering the
proposal to embody the extreme limit Of
General Boulanger's former instructions,
his seconds did not feel authorized to make
any further propositions. Ferry's seconds
would only accept a duel at twenty PAGES
with a single exchange of shots, the fire to
be opened ut a word OF command. There
upon as the offending party has the right
to dictate the conditions of a duel without
being obliged to submit to the terms die
by his adversary. B~oulanger's Sec
onds withdrew from the affair.

Wallpapers containing the articles were for.
warded to John Sherman. The latter
found time to write the following decidedly
pertinent letter to Mr.. Cole:
"pave read with deep interest what is
said in the numbers OF July 10 in reference
to Blaine's opinion of myself. It is quite
true, as Mr.. Blaine says, that he and I have

REGARD FOE EACH OTHER.
We were both presented as candidates in

friends in Ohio made the fatal mistake Of
dividing the Ohio delegation and refused to
vote for Mr.. Blaine. This not only defeat
ed me, but prevented. q concentration Of
the Ohio delegation in favor Of Mr.. Blaine
the night before the last day of the con.
vention, when he said he hoped the Ohio
delegation would unite upon NE, and il SO

of course. But so much feeling had been

By some it is considered that the special
of this letter ia the fact that it
indicates no change whatever in the fair
and cordial relationship which have
.ong existed between Sherman and Blaine.
It is held to mean that John Sherman will
get the Republican nomination for Presi-
lent next year if he can, and if he cannot
ne will be glad to see it fall to James G.
and the honor should fall upon
Sherman. It may be taken for granted
hat the Ohio statesman will have the
